is ptsd a danger? >> absolutely. natural disasters certainly pose a risk for ptsd. what's interesting about this, is that the boys are sort of right at that age where some of the signs and symptoms of ptsd would be similar to what we would see in adults. >> right. >> according to experts, again, the likelihood of these symptoms emerging is greatest in the first few months after the trauma. but can happen any time in their life. so there is no doubt in my mind that they are going to be monitored very closely now and in the next few weeks and months and maybe even years. >> so ptsd is very common. i r are we getting better? are we good at treating it? do we have mechanisms whereby we can ameliorate it? >> i can't speak to mechanisms locally for them. there are a lot of factors that go into -- not everyone in the same trauma will develop it. there's personal susceptibilities, what resources somebody comes to the table with. certainly i would say recognizing there's a likelihood this could happen and intervening earlier. there's a scale, right, how horrible was the trau

the people that have gotten ptsd from it. she immediately started building a simulation of the towers and the planes hitting and all that horror and trauma. when you're treating someone with ptsd, the typical way of doing it is cognitive exposure therapy. you have to bring them back. imagine that they were there. bring them back to the trauma so you can start to undo these horrible associations and give them coping mechanisms. the problem is, people don't want to go back. it hurts to go back. you don't want to do it. it is very difficult to get people there. vr takes all of that imagination and work to get back there and it illuminates that. you are just there. you had a button and you are there. you are smelling the burning and the bombs coming off and shaking the floor. it is designed to bring you back so we can help you get better. many studies, clinical studies. random clinical trials. it helps first responders get better. it is a tool that should be used more. >> have you experimented yet with 5 g and vr? >> a little bit

the people that got this ptsd from it. she started building a vr simulation of the towers and the planes hitting and all of that poor and trauma. the reason is when you're treating some who is got ptsd, the typically doing it is using something called cognitive exposure therapy. you have to bring them back, asked him to close their eyes and imagine they were there, bring them back to the trauma seek can start unto these horrible associations and give them coping mechanisms. the promise problem is people t to go back. if you had a traumatic event it hurts to go back. you don't want to do it. it's difficult to get people there. what vr does is it takes all of that imagination and work to get back there, and it eliminates that because you just do. you made a button and you're at the towers, or with his work, you are in iraq in the jeep hearing those noises and he does smell and your spelling the burning fuel and the bombs are going up and shaking the floor. it's an intense experience and it's designed to bring it back so we c

zach described his behavior as the most manic episode of ptsd he'd seen. >> reporter: the team decides to remove him from the apartment did for his own safety. >> coming up with the plan, does anyone have a shield? i said, i have my shield. we set up ow to approach the apartment, me in front with the shield, zach behind me with his gun out, doyle behind zach with taser out for less lethal, sergeant pelle behind him hands free. >> and we go and try to put him into custody. >> the officers enter the apartment to find that matthew has barricaded himself in his bedroom. they don't know he's holding a loaded rifle. >> he had not only barricaded the door but the entry to the hallway with large objects that were designed to hang inside. >> zach whispered, let's kick the door, he's not coming out. >> sheriff's office!

how to help veterans who struggle with ptsd. >>> welcome back to 'mornings on 2'. of setting minimum standards for seats and legroom as a safety measure. the group called friars rights -- flyers rights was fighting for this. they say it makes it hard to evacuated plane within 90 seconds. the faa says it's i know safety issue that required new regulations. they say did several accidents where passengers are able to evacuate. the distance between one seat back and the see back of the next row measured about 35 inches a few years ago. today on some airplanes, it is as tight as 28 inches. >>> tonight millions of people will celebrate the fourth of july with large fireworks. the same celebrations can be traumatizing for veterans. andrew kraft reports on a group that is bringing awareness to this issue. >> reporter: fireworks exploding may cause many to look on and off but for veterans living with ptsd, the noises are traumatic. >> it can be disturbing for some veterans. it can make you angry. it depends on what state of mind you are in. now that i have my dog with me, i

but ptsd, nonetheless. >> yeah, so this would count as what we call a criteriian a event. there was harm to their life, and for a period of two weeks, they didn't know if there was a potential of getting out safely. so that definitely would count for a traumatic event. and there will be reminders when they're out. i mean, there are a whole host of situations that might remind them of this event. so it could be being in water, be it swimming. it could be being in an enclosed room with a door closed, that might bring back feelings of being trapped again. it could be being in darkness, nighttime. there are many, many potential different reminders. most people who go through a trauma don't develop ptsd, so it's not a fact they're all going to develop post traumatic stress. they might not. in the first month after a trauma like this, it's very normal to have unwanted memories and feelings that are very similar to what you experience during the event. so if they felt panicked and anxious during time in the cave, that is common and the aftermath in the first month after a trauma.

what potential could that have for treating ptsd, for instance? robert: the early stages of sleep -- sleep happens in several stages.e rly stages are where we really are going through all tho informwe recorded during the day in deciding what to keep.st what the receny found in san diego was that it might not be a good idea for veterans who had been a harrowingt experience to go to sleep right away, because what that will do is con make it more likely that they will suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome. jane: that is fascinating. how important are our dreams? robert: that is a very contentious subject. i would say most of the sleep scientists our writer consulted for this article are of thein n that dreams are essentially meaningless. they are stories we construct as we awake from random firings of our brain. but that is by no means universal. some people, especially a lot of psychiatrists, say they are deeply meaningful and are clues to what is going on in our subconscious. jane: the big question is if we are not getting enough, in your rese

so how likely is it that they will suffer from ptsd? >> listen, we're hearing about that.rts running the gamut saying they'll be fine, they're resilient and those saying for sure they are going to suffer their whole life. that's speculation. the fact of the matter is we just don't know. i don't think anyone would be surprised if there is an element of ptsd but it's really important to remember the developmental stage of these boys. it's different when you talk about younger adolescents to older adolescents but this is a time where there is a high interest in being attached to your peer group. there is a striving for independence. they want respect of others and the older boys want to take on a leadership role. all of those developmental tasks could have actually played a major role in saving their lives through this ordeal. >> you said some of the biggest concerns facing these kids is basic. it's hydration, it's nutrition, it's temperature. >> right. >> so walk us through what's going on that's occurring in the ambulance, in the hospital and also in the helicopter once the

death for simon lee days, and they potentially could see quite serious ramifications in the form of ptsdn would have to be cancelled and watched carefully —— counselled. potentially there would have been a weighing up exercise for the medics to carry out because we know that they were reluctant to let them have contact with, for example, families, because they were worried about contamination if the boys' immune systems contamination if the boys' immune syste ms ha d contamination if the boys' immune systems had been weakened, but presumably psychologically the sooner they can see their families, the better for them? certainly that's the case and you're right, there's always a weighing up, like there was when getting them out of the cave, when are they safe and when are they safe enough to have them extracted? when are they safe enough to have them extracted ? certainly when are they safe enough to have them extracted? certainly being linked back with their families is ideal. being treated together in the same area of the hospital as the boys are being kept is also beneficial for that. t

yes, and it‘s to do with what he wants and what she wants, because he‘s a combat veteran, he‘s got ptsdround of all of this. the shakespeare idea of the tempest is in the background. i loved it. you‘ll love it, i promise you, you‘ll love it. that‘s always my approach. not what‘s wrong with me, what‘s wrong with you. that‘s always the way i approach the world! he laughs. best dvd, then. tomb raider. this is the alicia vikander iteration. it is. i never liked the tomb raiders before with angelina jolie, and i‘m not somebody who has ever played computer games. i thought this was much more fun than it had any right to be. i think alicia vikander was terrific, and it‘s a reboot, it‘s an origin story. as somebody who isn‘t a gamer and doesn‘t know that world that well, i thought it was gripping and good fun. the reason i included it is because there are so many terrible video game adaptations. video games don‘t generally transfer very well to the screen. i also liked assassin‘s creed with michael fassbender. i know not everybody else felt the same way, but i thought they made a nice double bi
